I am Albino, evil witchfinder I'll cleanse her sins, for witchcraft I condemn her - Albino is a character from an old horror / torture movie: Mark of the Devil - he exploits the gullible Christian society at the time to feed his bank account with gold by hunting down women which are originally labeled as witches mostly by people who want them dead or have no reason for their opinion. My implements of torture are bloody red Your confession to sorcery will leave you dead - Upon confessing, witches ended up being burned alive, yet this is the only exit to their torture. I am Albino, evil witchfinder I know she's guilty before I find her - Albino is conscious of the fact that he is killing just regular women needed dead by people above. I'll pierce her flesh to find his mark Torture, my pleasure, true servant of the dark - The first line here is about finding "the mark of the devil", a place in the woman's body where the devil has blessed her, this spot is found by poking with a sharp object until a spot whereupon touching no pain is felt by the witch. This is where the devil blessed her, and it is regarded as a proof of the witchery. - The second line implies that Albino enjoys not only his riches, but the gory means of obtaining them, too. My interpretation: This is a track derived from hate of gullibility and society bias, perfectly executed. |
